Distributed Artificial Life Simulator
Weiss, Martin ; Kočí, Radek (referee) ; Martinek, David (advisor)
Along with the artificial intelligence modelling and related studies, distributed computing ranks amongs the most discussed scientific topics nowadays and one can be certain that it will not fade away anytime soon. This work is also concerned about the above mentioned topics, more precisely its its main goal is to design and implement a distributed artificial intelligence simulator. The mentioned application was realized during as an firm part of this work and some benchmarks were run to determine and observe some properties inherent to distributed systems. The actual realization takes into account different approaches to distributing simulation resources. The final product did not prove as that convenient for simulation of rather simple AI models, which it if fact, even slowed down at times. In the future the project should be aimed towards more computationally challenging problems, that can truly use the capacity and advantages of such a computational system.

Duarte, Barbora ; Chalupský, Petr (advisor) ; Grmelová, Anna (referee)
This thesis explores the factual and fictional content of Pat Barker's war trilogy Regeneration, which consists of the novels Regeneration (1991), The Eye in the Door (1993) and The Ghost Road (1995). The aim of the thesis is to find various historical facts Barker uses in her trilogy and analyze how the author incorporates them into her fiction. In searching for the factual content of the trilogy, the thesis focuses on certain historical events, matters or issues which create the background of the trilogy. Some of the main characters of the trilogy and their real prototypes are analyzed. The thesis attempts to describe the trilogy as an antiwar literary work, depicting the impact of the war on soldiers and those who come in contact with them.

Theatre decoration? Set design? Scenography?
Vöröšová, Markéta ; KOUBSKÁ, Vlasta (advisor) ; CÍSAŘ, Jan (referee)
This thesis focuses on and compares the theoretical perception of scenography in the works of Czech aestheticians Otakar Zich and Růžena Vacková.
The whole comparison is integrated into the context of Czech modern scenography. Several key productions were chosen to demonstrate new tendencies that appeared at the specified time point in our theatre history. The thesis mentions theatre authors together with their works that played important role in forming Zich?s and Vacková?s opinions and theatre conceptions.
Taking into account how versatile personalities Otakar Zich and Růžena Vacková were it was necessary to bring up all areas of their activities. I attempted to summarize their professional careers and their influence on followers and I also wanted not to omit their life?s history . I deal with the importance of Zich´s key work Estetika dramatického umění and I also focused on personality of Vacková and the circumstances of the creation of Výtvarný projev v dramatickém umění.
It is a compilation work in which I try to present two approaches to the visual component of theatre performances. I compare their terminology used. I try to describe some aspects of scenography which Vacková developed under the influence of her predecessor and teacher and also the aspects that she was not in accordance with. Further, I focus on the problems of the possible forms of set design, connection between scenography and painting or architecture, and also on how the authors conceived the ideal scene, on whether they attached greater or lesser importance to stage directions and also on the problems of light, costumes, masks, stage objects?
This thesis should be perceived as a mere starting point for further in-depth exploration. There is a possibility to go deeper into details and/or extend the view so as to cover also other representatives of the Czech theatre theory with their scenography conceptions. I hope that, in the future, I will be able to continue working on this topic and to cover the history of Czech set desing theory in its integrity up to present days.

The St. Barbora cathedral in Kutná Hora. Architectural work of master Hanuš and Matěj Rejsek
Pospíšil, Aleš ; Benešovská, Klára (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
V roce 2005 byla na Ústavu pro dějiny umění FFUK v Praze vypracována magisterská diplomová práce pod vedením prof. PhDr. Jaromíra Homolky CSc. na téma "Chrám sv. Barbory v Kutné Hoře, dílo Matěje Rejska jako architekta ". Obhájena byla tato práce v témže roce. Největší důraz v ní byl kladen na rozlišení, které části stavby lze připsat Matěji Rejskovi a které po dvojím restaurování chrámu lze považovat za autentické. Na základě tohoto rozboru a detailního popisu bylo možné konstatovat, že Matěj Rejsek vytvořil chórem sv. Barbory pozoruhodné architektonické dílo se svébytnými prvky. V předkládané rigorózní práci je obsah předchozí studie rozšířen o osobnost a dílo mistra Hanuše, prvního stavitele chrámu v pozdně gotickém období a o prohloubené poznání samotného Rejskova díla. Díky lešení po stavenému až po klenbu chóru bylo možné poznat chrám také v interiéru. Na základě detailního studia všech částí architektury, běžně nepřístupných polí triforia a klenby bylo možné načrtnout jednotlivé podíly obou mistrů na stavbě. Do jisté míry se podařilo to, o čem se skepsí v roce 1946 psal Bohuslav Kraus 1 : "Snad nové výzkumy zdiva a způsobu stavby, možné při restauracích, přesněji osvětlí, kde končí Hanuš a co je dílem Rejskovým. Dosavadní bádání neuspokojuje ".
